ACCORDING TO COACH JASON FLOWERS
- "We did some things well and we were better defensively at times. The biggest accomplishment tonight was going on the road and getting the win. The other side to this trip was to have Lauren come home, play in front of her family and friends and getting the win was the cherry on top. Now we have to go back to the drawing board and have to get ready to play a really good Drake team on Sunday."
